Sweet 80s

The two children looked at the grilled sausages covered with dust in silence.

First he was cheated, and now the sausage that was about to be in his mouth ran away from home again.

The eldest baby is fine, but the second baby's nose is twitching.

After a while, he burst into tears.

Dabao quickly ran over, picked up the sausage, rubbed it on himself, and handed it over: "Eat it, it's not dirty anymore."

Erbao wiped his tears and looked at the sausage in his brother's hand, then glanced at Dabao's fingers and clothes, and said with a look of disgust, and then started crying again.

“It’s even dirtier… ahhh…”

"Tsk, eat it if you want. If you don't want it, I'll eat it." Dabao swallowed the grilled sausage in a few bites.

The second child, who wanted to eat the chicken leg, only nibbled the bread on the outside, while the eldest child, who didn't want to buy it, ate the best part in the middle.

Life, oh, life, you are so changeable.

At this time, Wang Shuping had just finished cleaning the kitchen and returned to her room to lie down when Lin Xiangdong walked in.

"Wife, come on, I'll take you to touch the lamb."

"What's there to touch about sheep? I won't go."

"The lamb has just been born and its wool is the softest. I promised you. Let's go."

Lin Xiangdong carried two kneading basins to the sheep pen and cow shed.

He forcibly took the lamb away from the ewe and listened to the cries for help of her only child. The ewe was tied up and could not move, so she could only watch helplessly.

"Meow...Meow..."

"It won't bite people, will it?" Wang Shuping had never touched these small animals herself, so she was afraid at first.

"Whether you can have the lamb stew tonight depends on whether it eats it or not."

Lin Xiangdong joked, and the ewe in the distance seemed to understand and bleated even louder.

Wang Shuping took the lamb. The soft and warm little body made her feel relieved.

The lamb's hair is as white as snow, and the dense fur feels as delicate and smooth as clouds in the sky when gently stroked by fingertips.

"It's so soft." Wang Shuping exclaimed at the wool that made her feel more and more comfortable the more she touched it.

"In winter, I hug the sheep into my quilt to keep warm. It is much warmer than a woolen sweater."

"Isn't it smelly?" Wang Shuping curled her nose. She smelled the fishy odor when she first brought the lamb to her.

"You won't feel it after staying there for a long time." After saying that, Lin Xiangdong brought the basin under the ewe, and with a pull, he squeezed out a shallow amount of goat milk at the bottom of the basin.

I went to the cowshed again and milked some milk.

"Come on, wife, I'll make you some milk."

Wang Shuping took the bowl of goat milk and sniffed it. A strong smell of goat instantly filled her nasal cavity, stimulating her brain to send a signal of rejection.

"No, it's too smelly. I can't stand the smell." Wang Shuping dropped the basin and walked quickly.

"We've been drinking it since we were little and never found it tasty. It's okay, leave it to me. However, I need your help."

Lin Xiangdong placed the remaining wild fruits in front of Wang Shuping: "Take a bite of the wild apricots here one by one. Eat the sweet ones, throw away the sour ones, and keep the cores."

“You want almonds.”

"Don't worry about it, I'm going out for a while."

After saying that, Lin Xiangdong walked towards the foot of the mountain in the distance.

There lives an old couple at the foot of the mountain. They raise bees on the mountain all year round.

"Auntie." Lin Xiangdong pushed open the door and walked into the yard.

An old woman with short white hair came out of the house and was a little surprised to see Lin Xiangdong.

"Xiao Wu, you haven't been here for a long time, come in and sit down."

"No, is my uncle home?"

"It's a festival these two days, so he went to the city to sell honey. What do you want to talk to him about?" The old woman pulled a chair over and motioned for Lin Xiangdong to sit down.

"Nothing, I'm here to buy a jar of honey."

"Kid, just take what you want to eat. Buy whatever you want." After saying that, the old woman took out a glass jar from the wooden box next to her.

"Here, take it."

Lin Xiangdong took the honey jar and put the money on the wooden box.

"Why are you being so polite to me? I've watched you grow up. How can you ask for money for a jar of honey?" The old woman took the money and was about to return it to him.

Lin Xiangdong waved his hand and said with a little embarrassment: "Auntie, is this our beehive? I want a few more pieces."

"There's nothing ready-made. If you want to eat it, you have to get it from the beehive."

The old woman led Lin Xiangdong to the outside of the courtyard where he connected to a small mountain path.

There are two rows of low sheds on both sides of the road.

There are dozens of beehives placed under the shed.

The bees are busy moving back and forth between the beehives and the nectar sources, and the whole road is filled with a constant buzzing sound.

The old woman pointed at the beehive and said, "This side has Paulownia honey, and that side has Sophora japonica honey and Jujube honey. Which flavor do you want?"

As she spoke, the old woman picked up the bee-proof suit hanging on the fence and prepared to put it on.

Lin Xiangdong saw it and quickly grabbed it.

The aunt he was talking about was a few years older than his parents. How could he trouble an old lady with such matters?

"Let me do it, let me do it."

Bee-proof suits can cover a person tightly from head to toe.

The old woman reminded him, "You have to dress properly. This little thing also recognizes people."

Even after putting on the bee-proof suit, Lin Xiangdong was still frightened by the constant buzzing of bees around his ears.

He stood still, took a few deep breaths, and walked towards the beehive.

He moved out the honey barrel, knocked the bees on the hive into the beehive, then cut off the irregular honeycomb and put it into a bowl prepared in advance.

The process of removing the beehive was relatively smooth.

But after he took off the bee-proof suit, a bee acted stupidly and flew around aimlessly, and somehow landed right on Lin Xiangdong's feet.

A stabbing, burning pain instantly penetrated my brain.

Anyone who has been stung by a bee knows this.

The pain, redness, swelling, itching and other symptoms caused by bee stings are due to the venom in the bee stings.

Removing the sting promptly can reduce the influx of venom, relieve symptoms and reduce pain.

Lin Xiangdong reacted very quickly. He squatted down, aimed at the bee sting, and pulled it out in one go.

Maybe it was because of "stupid bees have stupid poison", because he started to feel uncomfortable in his feet on the way home.

By the time she limped home, Wang Shuping had already peeled the wild apricots and put them into a bowl, and had also taken out all the almonds.

"You're back. Hey, where did the honey come from?" After saying this, she noticed that Lin Xiangdong's walking posture was not right, and hurriedly asked with concern.

"What's wrong with your leg?"

"Little things."

"What little thing? Let me see it."

When he took off his shoes, Lin Xiangdong's feet were already red and swollen.

Seeing this, Wang Shuping helped him back to the room without saying a word.

Get some cooler well water, first scrub the soles of your feet gently with soap, then use a towel soaked in the water to apply cold compress to reduce swelling.

"Wife, stop being busy. Everyone has been stung by a bee before. It's nothing."

"Small things are small, but they are no big deal in your eyes."

“Originally…Aaaaah~”

Wang Shuping pressed the place where he was stung, and Lin Xiangdong subconsciously let out a sound like a pig being slaughtered.

Wang Shuping giggled as if she had succeeded.

"I thought you had become strong and powerful, but I didn't expect you were still human. It's ok to feel the pain. Don't be so hard on yourself in the future."

“This is all…”

"Hi~"

Lin Xiangdong wanted to find an excuse again, but was controlled by the other party with an onomatopoeia.

While Wang Shuping went out to pour water, Lin Xiangdong couldn't spare even half a minute.

He put on his shoes and chased after the other person with the honeycomb, anxious to let her taste the new thing.

“Is this a beehive?”

"Yes, try it."

“Will it be delicious?”

“It’s delicious.”

Before entering the beehive, the laughter of two children came in from outside the door.

There are only two small pieces of honeycomb, and there will definitely not be enough for so many people.

So Lin Xiangdong grabbed one of the smaller ones and put it into his mouth.

He put his arms around Wang Shuping's neck and stuffed the remaining large piece directly into her mouth.

The honeycomb is delicate and smooth, with the aroma of nectar and a sweet and delicious taste.

It has a slightly elastic texture when chewed, and has a chewy texture like bubble gum.

"Is it tasty?"

As she tasted the sweet honeycomb, Wang Shuping already had a smile on her face and nodded in approval repeatedly.

As soon as the two children came in, they saw their father and mother's mouths moving, and they wondered what delicious food they were eating.

"Dad, Mom, what are you eating?"
